Easy DIY Pennants

After stumbling on these adorable mini pennants from Three Potato Four, I was stoked about the possibility to give my plants a boost of personality. But as with all our other DIY projects—wood bead candle holder, Michelle’s reclaimed pallet cow, etc—I knew I could easily make these myself. Follow along for this super simple DIY that anyone—even kids—can do in less than an hour. Call that an accomplished afternoon.

Supplies

Step 1

Trace and cutout the pennant pattern from your stiffened felt. You can download our pattern here.

Step 2

Trace and cut out the contrasting edge from your soft felt.

Step 3

Wrap the contrasting felt evenly around the edge and glue in place. For the back, make sure to glue only along the edge to leave a “pocket” for the skewer.

Step 4

Once glued, trim your contrasting felt to match the edges of the pennant.

Step 5

Add your letters! With one pack of letters, see how many phrases you can come up with.

Step 6

Slide the kabob skewer into the pocket you’ve glued.

What do you guys think? This was such a simple and cheap DIY to occupy a rainy afternoon. Plus I honestly love the pennant that lives in my house plant. I could also see making these in different team’s colors for a fun Super Bowl party or rowdy game night.
